I Bought Two CDs Yesterday

I can't remember the last time I bought a CD -- it's been years. I was at Target and they were impulse buys.

"Raising Sand" -- Robert Plant & Alison Krauss

"Live from Madison Square Garden" -- Eric Clapton & Steve Winwood

 

Not counting kids CDs, I don't think I've bought one in five years...

 

I hate to tell you this, Yankee, but all the kids are starting to buy albums again.

 

The Plant-Krauss album is awesome.

 

I keep hitching on the trigger finger to buy a DVD.

And it's Live in Chicago by Stevie Nicks. Still haven't bought it yet.

 

I'd only heard about it, but hadn't actually heard it.

Listening to it now. Liking it a lot.

I've got to leave in a minute, going to have to bring it with me in the car.

 

The Clapton-Winwood CD is great too.

 

I haven't bought a C.D. in about four years. I also don't have an Ipod. But I listen to music all day.

 

Yeah?

 

Up until last month I couldn't remember the last time I'd been in a record store, let along bought a CD. A few weeks back I was at the HMV at the mall with Huggy Jr. who was looking for a movie to take in the car for our roadie to Florida. Never looked at the CDs, got him a movie and bought two books.

I saw a handful of them on an end display at Best Buy this week. They were mostly greatest hits types of things, but supposedly Green Day is recording or re-releasing their entire catalogue on vinyl.

I guess they do sound better.

 

I still buy CDs. I just like the idea of having it in my hand instead of being one computer crash away from losing it, though I've downloaded some albums too.
